Finished Borne by Jeff Vandemeer and my headcanon is that Borne’s shapeshifting/general movement looks like that really specific way that AI-generated entities shift around and transform in videos. Like one of those come to life.

I am STARVING for Borne discourse. I am pretty late to the party, so a lot of online discussions are several years old. I gathered up some book clubs and reading guides here. SPOILERS obvs.

Macmillan published a reading group guide

I understand Borne (2017) more than I ever understood The Area X Trilogy and for that reason, (and possible the post-apocalyptic setting, which I have always liked, also SO many kinds of beetles) I think I like it a little better?

I loved Annihilation, but I don't think I'll ever really understand it. There's so much going on and I just get kind of lost, even as I deeply enjoy the ride and acknowledge that there's so much to analyze. I understand the setting and relationships and general vibe of Borne more, not to say that Borne is better or anything, they're both absolutely fucking fantastic books/series. But like, I am understanding Borne more, I am getting it more, I am not just shell shocked lost wandering the wilderness of Area X wondering what it means, you've written this poetry and I know it means.

Also like... probably name bias, I suffer from name bias bigtime. Oh? Your protagonist is named Rachel you say?

Anyway if you have Southern Reach meta send it to me. Make my brain bigger!
